The Crossing

The Crossing is a connection between historic and modern, private and public, downtown and new development, individual and community. The Crossing takes inspiration from the tradition and character of the community while incorporating modern design. The Crossing integrates office and retail space, new housing at the Edgewater and The Riverside, tree-lined thoroughfares, a new public riverfront green space, and a strong connection to historic downtown Northfield.

Living Spaces

We offer individual interior design options for every condominium at The Edgewater. Whether you choose from Mendota Homes' exclusive Design Packages, or visit our Design Center, featuring an extensive array of classic and modern materials, you will work with our professional team throughout the construction process to create a space that embodies your ideal home.

Philosophy

The Crossing is a connection. Historic architecture to modern design. Private terraces to public river walk. Downtown to new development. Individual living spaces to community green spaces. Landscaped pathways to natural riverbanks.

Architectural Features

The architectural style of The Edgewater is influenced by the rich history of Northfield while maintaining an honest expression of present building and design practices. Traditional materials including brick, stucco, and stone are complemented by modern details articulated in metal, iron, and glass. The rhythm of the architecture is informed by the brick and masonry tones and storefront bays of Northfield's historic district. The height of The Edgewater responds to both topographical features of the area and the scale of existing cross-river architecture.

The building's west facade welcomes residents and guests, and interacts with the new urban streetscape of The Crossing.

The building's east side opens to a raised, private terrace, and connects to the new river walk system. The Edgewater includes four stories of residential construction over two stories of underground parking, featuring 55 new condominiums. Floorplans range from one bedroom lofts to top floor penthouses including rooftop mezzanines with panoramic views of the Cannon River and downtown Northfield.

Design Features

Every condominium at The Edgewater offers gracious living spaces, well-appointed kitchens, luxurious bathrooms, expansive windows, and private balconies. Select features include panoramic river views and rooftop mezzanines and sundecks.

For convenience and comfort, heating and cooling systems are private for each condominium. The Edgewater also includes heated underground parking, a sunlit two-story entry foyer and atrium, elevators, a community room, fitness center, security system, and beautifully landscaped riverfront terrace.

Sustainable Design

Mendota Homes' design team for The Crossing worked in close partnership with local officials and citizens to create a new community which functions naturally and in harmony with the site's most important amenity - the picturesque Cannon River.

Ecologically integrated features including a walking path, riverfront plazas, and a connection to Northfield's existing river walk system, invite residents and the public to fully explore this scenic river. Native plant species will be incorporated into the landscaped elements of the site. Environmentally sensitive rain garden drainage systems will efficiently filter rainwater. The historical character of the riverbank will be both meticulously protected and artfully enhanced.
